Why Simple is better Security than Several

(1/1)

Couldn't find that topic where mouser was considering changing DC's login forms so I'm making a new thread.

StackOverflow should change absolutely nothing about their login process. It is perfect. I anonymously answered one question, and all of a sudden I have a profile. No confirmation e-mail, no Facebook or Twitter crap. Just use the site and bam! you're registered. It remembers me every time I come back and it makes absolutely no fucking attempt to worm its way into my social graph.

The key is to social engineer users into making a difficult pass phrase and adding extra security AFTER they have an account.
